Pregnancy ?'s: Collagen/Biotin combination supplements are not known to adversely affect pregnancy, however, consult your OB physician, as he/she knows your particular clinical situation best.

will collagen pill supplements interfere with my birth control?

Question 8

is prp  a good way  to e stimulate collagen  on the face area?

Accepted Answer

Experimental: While prp can stimulate collagen theoretically, it may not be worth it from a risk / benefit standpoint.

The best thing about the face is its extensive blood supply.  Are you asking from a cosmetic standpoint or is it for a surgical procedure (burns)?  

If purely cosmetic, i recommend a healthy diet with fruits and vegetables.  

I recommend juice plus to my patients for general health.

Question 9

is there any anti aging benefits from taking either collagen and or hylauronic acid pills?

Accepted Answer

Nope: The body can make those things with adequate protien and vitamin C. Injections at the site of wrinkles can improve your skins appearance, but this is temporary. The est way to keep you skin looking healthy is to stay protected from the sun with a hat and sunscreen, with both UVA and UVB protection and to maintain a healthy diet rich in whole foods, low in satuated, fats, and exercise regularly.

Question 10

whats the benefits of taking collagen with vitamin c?

Accepted Answer

: Some sources will state that taking vitamin C will boost the effect of Collagen but they do not need to be taken together.
Pharmaceutical companies will make combined Collagen + Vitamin C  product and there are a lot of advertisements about it, just to appeal the customers.
I, myself, do not believe in these supplements.
